An retrospective study on the effects of deep learning model-based optimization emergency nursing on treatment compliance and curative effect of patients with acute left heart failure
he optimization group showed shorter durations for first aid, hospitalization, electrocardiography, vein channel establishment, and blood collection compared to the conventional group. However, their SBP, DBP, and HR were inferior. On the other hand,…
Perceived competency requirements for emergency medical services field supervisors in managing chemical and explosive incidents – qualitative interview study
The results were grouped under one inductive main category, “Being Prepared,” and six deductive main categories: “Command and Control,” “Safety,” “Communication,” “Assessment,” “Triage and Treatment,” and “Transport.” Under the main categories, there…
Challenges of providing of special care services in hospitals during emergencies and disasters: a scoping review
This review identified 15 distinct challenges associated with providing special care services in hospitals during emergencies and disasters: limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, lack of pre-hospital care, financial constraints, failures in…
Using machine learning and natural language processing in triage for prediction of clinical disposition in the emergency department
A total of 17,2101 and 41,883 patients were enrolled from CMUH and AUH, respectively. EPs achieved F1 core of 0.361 and 0.498 for the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. All machine learning models achieved higher F1 scores compared to EPs…
Association between glottis screen location and intubation difficulty: a retrospective video laryngoscopy study
Among 209 laryngoscopy records, 113 had the arytenoid in the lower field of view and 96 in the upper field. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significantly lower cumulative success rate for intubations with a higher arytenoid location (log-rank test, P
Self-assessment and learning motivation in emergency point-of-care ultrasound: an online pilot investigation in German physicians
Overall, the motivation to learn was high, while self-assessment showed no significant overconfidence in POCUS. The rate of correct diagnoses based on the loops was relatively low. As a result, we did not detect overconfidence effects in participants…
The prehospital paediatric emergency care burden managed by a public ambulance service in the Western Cape, South Africa
In the 87 457 cases, there was a similar distribution between the primary cases (50.7%) and interfacility transfers (49.3%). Most activations emanated from rural areas (47 980, 54.9%), with respiratory emergencies (30 934, 35.4%), non-cardiac pain…
Comparison of the effects of group and individual reflection methods on self-regulated learning strategies and learning motivation among emergency medical technicians: a quasi-experimental study
The mean score of self-regulation learning strategies and learning motivation significantly increased in the group reflection arm after the intervention (p
Evaluation of droperidol use in the emergency department: a retrospective analysis of QTc prolongation and adverse events
A total of 327 administrations of droperidol were identified in 245 patients in the ED. The composite safety endpoint occurred in 30 (9.1%) administrations. None of these events were classified as “probable” or “definite” on the Naranjo adverse drug…
